I find it much more affordable to freeze my own berries than buying the pre-packed frozen bags. I usually buy fresh strawberries, clean and cut into halves, then put them into ziploc bags and freeze. No need to add sugar :) It's a great way to have berries all year round and be cost effective!

I bought a Magic Bullet a month ago and I use it almost everyday. I use it mostly for making smoothies. I just dump everything in the big cup and it blends everything in like 30 seconds or less. Clean up is easy too..just wash the cup and the blade. I don't think I'd like using a full size blender only cuz I really dislike the cleaning part.
